Putting the yoga mat back into the yoga bag will forever be the bitchiest task ever

I always have a bad habit of making my portions too small and not eating enough, therefore making me feel hungry all throughout the day. I also have this very bad habit that whenever there’s no school, I keep forgetting to eat. 

It’s not that I force myself to eat, it’s just that I really honestly forget that I have to eat. That’s not the bad part, I forget to eat/not eat enough and then I go workout. That’s when it finally kicks in that my eating habits are bad then I become dizzy after working out. Blah.

This is bad. I’m not forcing myself to be anorexic, don’t worry. I’m just having a bad time getting my portions/eating schedule on track. Especially since school is such a stress to the fucking ass.

Good news though is that I’m been working out consistently for the first week now! I’m really trying to get back on track since now I’m going to the beach this November! I have to look good!!!! The healthy way of course :-) 

Long time no blog!

Sorry if the activity on here has been REAL slow! I’m guessing some of you noticed that since some of you already unfollowed me. It’s alright. It’s just that school has already started for me and I’m stressed as fuck. 

Obviously my workouts have taken a sad hiatus because I’d be too exhausted after school to do anything. Don’t worry! I’ve thought of a (very agonizing) solution, and guess what it is?

I plan to wake up an hour earlier than I normally do and workout in the morning!!!!!!!! Waah. Why would I ever torture myself so early in the morning you ask?

  1. In hopes of trying to ground myself to have a better sleeping schedule.
  2. I put things at last minute waaaay too much and at least with this, I get to fucking finally be done with it in the morning!!!
  3. I get to take BEFORE pictures!!! yeah, boy alright

Let’s hope this finally sticks for a year!

Alternatives to Crunches!

V-Up 

This one is pretty fun. 

  1. Start position: Lie back onto floor or bench with knees bent and hands extended towards ceiling. Head should be in a neutral position with a space between chin and chest.
  2. Leading with the chin and chest towards the ceiling, contract the abdominal and raise shoulders off floor or bench. Also raise legs up towards ceiling and attempt to touch your hands to your feet. 
  3. Return to start position.

Alternating Toe Touch 

I love the way this one looks

  1. Start position: Lie back onto floor or bench with feet up into the air. Head should be in a neutral position with a space between chin and chest.
  2. Leading with the chin and chest towards the ceiling, contract the abdominal and raise shoulders off floor or bench. Extend one arm and reach for the opposite foot. Return to start position and repeat with other hand.
  3. Remember to keep head and back in a neutral position. Hyperextension or flexion may cause injury. To increase resistance, hold medicine ball in hands. To decrease resistance, position hand closer towards body

Plank 

Always a classic

  1. Start by placing your forearms on the ground and forming a plank with your forearms and feet.
  2. Hold this position keeping your body parallel to the ground for the required time.

Burpees 

Jump up, up and up

  1. From a standing position, jump as high as possible and land down on your feet with your hands on the ground. 
  2. Kick your feet back. For a moment you will be in a push up position and jump back up again as fast as possible.
  3. Repeat for the required repetitions.

Belly Blaster 

So for those of you who are normally on top…..

  1. Start in a plank position with your elbows and forearms on the ground, your body parallel to the floor and up on your toes. 
  2.  Make sure your belly button is drawn in toward your spine and raise your hips up into the air and hold for a 1 second count.
  3. Return to the starting and repeat for the prescribed number of repetitions. 

Supine Double Leg Raise 

So you’ll be able to put your legs on his shoulders with ease

  1. Start by lying on your back and a slight bend in your knees.
  2. Raise your legs to a perpendicular position to the floor. This is your starting position.
  3. Slowly lower your legs until you are no longer able to keep your abs tight and your low back on the floor. 
  4. Raise your legs back up to the starting position and repeat. 
  5. Only lower your legs as far as your abs have enough strength for.
